I am not sure..but was this a part of I love the 80's?? I know they did Make out songs of the 80's.

But, I was just listening to the radio, and the song Drive-by The Cars was playing, and ever time I hear that song...I think of when I went to an football game with my cousin back around 1984, it wasn't our school, she had a crush on a guy from another school, and he was her neighbors nephew, so her neighbor took us to a football game he was suppose to be at, and he was there allright but with another girl, and I remember my cousin cried the whole way home that night in the car, and the song Drive played on the radio, and it made her bawl even harder.

So, I was thinking that when you start dating someone, or have a crush on them...in the beginning every song that you hear reminds you of them, and you think someone wrote them just for you, and then when you break up...every song is sad and depressing, and it makes the pain even worse.

Does anyone else remember ever breaking up with someone, and then you'd be driving along or be out somewhere and a song would start playing, and you'd be all bummed out over breaking up.

Hands to Heaven by Breathe andSomeday-by Glass Tiger were Break-up songs for me that I remember hearing them and being all bummed, and Foolish Beat-Debbie Gibson.I was the one always doing the breaking up, but still..I would think afterwards...did I do the right thing.

I heard this song in a shop today and I never thought that I would hear it again in the naughties. However I used to love it when I was at school which was about 1992-1994 - the song is 'Tangled. Also love "King of Wishful Thinking"...I know that they qualify as nineties songs but they were amazing break up songs for me.....

I know its not an 80's song,but theres one by THE CURE from the Wild Mood Swings cd called BARE and it just cuts me up when i hear it.here are the lyrics....see what you think.

IF YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING LEFT TO SAYYOU'D BETTER SAY IT NOW,ANYTHING BUT ''STAY''JUST SAY IT NOW.WE KNOW WE'VE REACHED THE END,WE JUST DONT KNOW HOW''WELL AT LEAST WE'LL STILL BE FRIENDS''YEAH ONE LAST USELESS VOW.....

''THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS TO LIVE''YEAH I KNOW THAT STUFF''OTHER WAYS TO GIVE''YEAH ALL THAT STUFF,BUT HOLDING ONTO USED TO BEIS NOT ENOUGH.MEMORIES NOT LIFE,AND ITS NOT LOVE.

WE SHOULD LET IT ALL GOIT NEVER STAYS THE SAME,SO WHY DOES IT HURT ME LIKE THISWHEN YOU SAY THAT IVE CHANGED?WHEN YOU SAY THAT IVE AGED?SAY IM AFRAID....

AND ALL THE TEARS THAT YOU CRYTHEY'RE NOT TEARS FOR ME,REGRETS ABOUT YOUR LIFETHEY'RE NOT REGRETS FOR ME.IT NEVER TURNS OUT HOW YOU WANT,WHY CANT YOU SEE?IT ALL JUST SLIPS AWAYIT ALWAYS SLIPS AWAYEVENTUALLY....

SO IF YOU'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO SAYJUST SAY ''GOODBYE''TURN YOUR FACE AWAY,AND SAY ''GOODBYE''YOU KNOW WE'VE REACHED THE ENDYOU JUST DONT KNOW WHYAND YOU KNOW WE CANT PRETEND,AFTER ALL THIS TIME....

SO JUST LET IT ALL GONOTHING EVER STAYS THE SAME,SO WHY DOES IT HURT ME LIKE THISTO SAY THAT IVE CHANGED,TO SAY THAT IVE AGEDSAY IM AFRAID....

BUT THERE ARE LONG,LONG NIGHTS WHEN I LAY AWAKEAND I THINK OF WHAT IVE DONE,OF HOW IVE THROWN MY SWEETEST DREAMS AWAYAND WHAT IVE REALLY BECOME.AND HOWEVER HARD I TRY,I WILL ALWAYS FEEL REGRETAND HOWEVER HARD I TRYI WILL NEVER FORGET....I WILL NEVER FORGET....

My all time favorite breakup song would have to be: 'Eyes Without a Face' by Billy Idol.It has all the right ingredients with a perfect mixture of grief and anger.This is a GREAT song all the way!

I'm all out of hopeOne more bad dream could bring a fallWhen I'm far from homeDon't call me on the phoneTo tell me you're aloneIt's easy to deceiveIt's easy to teaseBut hard to get release

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a faceGot no human grace your eyes without a face.

I spend so much timeBelieving all the liesTo keep the dream aliveNow it makes me sadIt makes me mad at truthFor loving what was you

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a faceGot no human grace your eyes without a face.

When you hear the music you make a dipInto someone else's pocket then make a slip.Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool.I'm on a bus on a psychedelic tripReading murder books tryin' to stay hip.I'm thinkin' of you you're out there soSay your prayers.

Now I close my eyesAnd I wonder whyI don't despiseNow all I can doIs love what was onceSo alive and newBut it's gone from your eyesI'd better realise

Breakup-type songs can be interpreted differently.

(1.) You are falling OUT of love with your partner, and want to break up.

(2.) Your partner leaves you and you are devastated.

(3.) You already have broken up a while ago, but are still deeply hurting.

...But there is one other kind of breakup song that we haven't discussed yet. I call it the "Good Riddance!" breakup song. The kind of song that you angrily tell your ex- that you are better off without him/her.

Such as (not necessarily 80's):

"I've Done Everything For You", written and originally sung by Sammy Hagar, and later done by Rick Springfield."Hit The Road, Jack" by Ray Charles."I'm Still Standing" by Elton John."I'm Doin' Fine Now" by New York City."Don't Shed a Tear" by Paul Carrack."Red Rubber Ball" by The Cyrkle, and written by Paul Simon."I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor."You're So Vain" by Carly Simon."It's All Over Now" by Rolling Stones."Song For the Dumped" by Ben Folds Five."Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)" by Steam, and later covered by several other groups, including Bananarama."Big Shot" by Billy Joel."You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morrisette."I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out Of My Hair" from the Broadway musical, South Pacific.

Ain't no talkin' to this man Ain't no pretty other side Ain't no way to understand the stupid words of pride It would take an acrobat And I already tried all that I'm gonna let him fly Things can move at such a pace The second hand just waves goodbye You know the light has left his face You can't recall just where or why So there was really nothin' to it I just wanna cut right through it I said I'm gonna let him fly Ooh yea yeah There's no mercy in a live wire No rest at all in freedom Choices we are given There's no choice at all, uh huh The proof is in the fire You're tough before it it moves awayBut you must always know how long to stay ...and when to go And there ain't no talkin' to this man He's been tryin' to tell me so It took awhile to understand the beauty of just letting goCause it would take an acrobatAnd I already tried all that I'm gonna let him fly ...flyI'm gonna let him fly... fly whoa I'm gonna let him fly Well, I'm, I'm gonna let him fly

"Could it possibly be, that in your dictionaryLove and lies are defined both the sameI know how you can catch your ideal manJoin a singles club for the insane."

If I had another chance tonightIíd try to tell you that the things we had were rightTime canít erase the love we sharedBut it gives me time to realize just how much you cared

Now youíre gone, Iím really not the sameI guess I have myself to blameTime canít erase the things we saidBut it gives me time to realize that youíre the one instead

Chorus:You know I wonít hold you back now, the love we had just canít be foundYou know I canít hold you back now

Now that Iím alone it gives me timeTo think about the years that you were mineTime canít erase the love we sharedBut it gives me time to realize just how much you cared

Chorus(instrumental break)You know I wonít hold you back now,The love we had just canít be foundListen to me babyYou know I canít hold you back now
